What is the point of infant simulation if the one of the most impactful part would be skipped?

The biggest parts of having a baby, for the mom mostly:

1) physical changes and pains during pregnancy, including lack of sleep

2) physical changes and pains during childbirth, including episiotomy/C section, and dealing with that recovery process

3) while this is all going on, you have to teach this baby to breastfeed. Which then leads to engorgement and other pains for the mom, at least for a few weeks.

And all of this is happening while you are on very broken sleep schedules. And assuming you do not have to worry about income/rent/etc.
